After the movie Blaine took Nat to get ice cream, he managed to crack a joke which she laughed at very loud, it’s the first time since Kurt’s death that she’s laughed.

“It’s great to hear her laugh again.”

Blaine quickly pivoted in his chair to see Kurt behind him. Kurt smiled down at him then faded away. Blaine reached out to touch the spot where he had been standing.
“Are you okay daddy?” Nat asked. He turned back around and nodded, speechless. This was impossible; there is no way Kurt had been there.

“Are you ready to leave Nat? We can go to the park or I can invite Jeremy over to play.”

“I haven’t seen Jeremy in a while!” Nat sounded excited as if she had forgotten for a moment, but then she glanced over at the third chair that occupied their table and her smile dropped. Blaine stood up, grabbed her hand and walked her out to the car.

Blaine called Rachel to see if Jeremy was busy. He was a year older than Nat but they fit well together. Jeremy was able to come by and soon Nat had a distraction. Blaine wandered into his room and shut the door behind him. He lied down on his bed and stared at the ceiling.

“Kurt, if you can hear me please make an appearance.”

Blaine knew he was being stupid, he waited a few minutes but nothing happened.

“Kurt, it would be really nice to see you right now.”

Again nothing.

Blaine let a tear drip down his cheek, he tried to hold in his choked sobs but it was difficult. He wanted to give up, he wanted his Kurt back, but he had to think about Nat. What would happen to her if she lost both her dads in less than a month? He couldn’t leave her, he would never forgive himself and Kurt would never forgive him.

Blaine’s eyes flew open when he felt a whisper of a touch brush his cheek, it felt almost like a light breeze had pushed through the window. He turned his face to see Kurt lying next to him.

“Are you real?” Blaine asked.

“I’m an angel now, as crazy as it sounds when I was about to cross over they told me that my job was not done yet and I still needed to watch over you guys at least until I know you’ll be fine without me. But you weren’t supposed to be able to see me and now it’s making me job much harder.”

“Why?”

“Because I’ll have to leave soon.”

Blaine felt more tears drip down his cheek, he reached out, about to brush Kurt’s cheek.

“I don’t think you can touch me Blaine.” Kurt’s eyes held remorse and regret but Blaine didn’t listen, if he could see him maybe he could touch him. Blaine started to grow angry when his fingers fell through Kurt and onto the bed.

“This isn’t fair Kurt, you were taken from me be we got our chance to truly live. I miss you so much and my heart hurts.”

Blaine saw tears fall from Kurt’s eyes, “Blaine you have to learn how to live without me, if you don’t I can never cross over.”

“What happens if you don’t cross over?”

“I’ll be stuck wandering earth by myself forever.”

Kurt started to fade away, “I have to go Blaine, I’m sorry.”

Blaine jumped up and reached for Kurt but all his fingers found were air. He let Kurt’s words sink in and he became mroe angry, just when he thought he had Kurt back he was gone, it hurt more than losing him in the first place.
Blaine marched into his closet and started pulling Kurt’s clothes from there hangers and onto the floors. Before he managed to empty the whole thing Rachel burst into the room.

“Blaine we are going out to dinner do you want to come?” Rachel stepped more into the room and finally saw the mess then she saw Blaine lying in a heap of Kurt’s shirts sobbing.

“Oh my god Blaine!” Rachel hit her knees and helped Blaine into a sitting position. She heard the kids run into the room at her exclamation and she quickly shot to her feet and shut the door. But before she got it fully closed Nat saw her dad in a mess of clothes and sorrow.

Rachel curled up next to Blaine and let him cry into her chest.

“I miss him Rachel.”

She threaded her hands in his hair, “I know Blainey I miss him too, it’s been so hard to wake up in the morning and not know what to wear.”

Blaine let out a laugh and started to rub at his eyes. “I need to move on though, not forget but just come to peace with it.”

Rachel nodded then hugged him again.

Rachel helped Blaine pack Kurt’s clothes into a couple boxes. He wasn't ready to part with them just yet so they stored them in the closet.

Dinner that night was a happy event, Blaine told Nat what happened and she understood. She also agreed that they needed to find peace with it and Blaine asked her when she got so smart.

Later that night, after they dropped Rachel and Jeremy off they sat together and went through old photos, laughing and crying.

“Remember when we first told we were going to get you an American Girl doll, you wouldn’t stop talking about it. Then we had to convince you not to bring it to school with you.”

“You didn’t want the other girls to get jealous.”

“We really just didn’t want you to lose or break the 100 dollar doll.”

Nat laughed and turned the page.

Blaine knew his heart would never be the same, but it would heal over time. Blaine also didn’t see Kurt again but when Kurt’s weeding ring that Blaine had hid away appeared on his dresser that night Blaine knew Kurt would be okay.
